No Such Thing As Meat And Greet

"List of the Lost" is a novel by Morrissey, first published in 2015 by Penguin Books as his debut work of fiction. Set in 1970s Boston, it follows four young relay runners whose accidental killing of a homeless man brings a curse upon them, leading to escalating tragedy and supernatural retribution. Written in a dense, stream‑of‑consciousness style, the book blends demonic imagery, social and political commentary, and Morrissey’s characteristic preoccupations with death, injustice, and American popular culture. Widely criticized on release for its prose and structure, it has nonetheless attracted attention as an idiosyncratic extension of Morrissey’s artistic persona.

The novel follows Fanny Price, a young girl from a poor family who is sent to live with her wealthy uncle and aunt, Sir Thomas and Lady Bertram, at Mansfield Park. Fanny navigates the complexities of her new environment, dealing with the mistreatment by some family members and the kindness of her cousin Edmund. The story unfolds with the arrival of the charming but morally dubious Crawfords, leading to a series of scandals and moral dilemmas. Ultimately, Fanny's integrity and compassion guide her through the challenges, and she finds love and a sense of belonging with Edmund.
